A moan!

Well I'm sorry to say it again .......

PLEASE at the end of the evening, when you put away the terrain and equipment that you have been using can you make sure that you put it away carefully.

Last night - 1st November i went to put away the stuff that id been using and found David's 40k terrain ( i think thats what is is) in its grey containers precariously balanced on top of my large home made office building. This terrain item sits in its own box which is slightly too small for it and part of the building sticks out the top. As you can imagine I'm not happy about finding heavy plastic containers sitting on top of this building.

Now, i know who was using David's terrain and who was responsible for this carelessness.

I simply ask all of us in this public forum to care for all of the items in the storage area. I am tired of having to take my own stuff home and items that belong to others and the club and fix them because someone has been careless.

Ive made these points before and the last time we all made a splendid effort and built the new storage racks. This has been a great success and has helped us all keep the storage area tidy.

Can i make a suggestion that i believe would be a great help?

Simply this - if you are doing a large game with terrain, please stop gaming at 10.30. The idea is that this now gives you 30 minutes to carefully pack everything away. If you don't rush the models can be packed away more carefully and placed up in the storage area more carefully. Don't forget please that we do have to be out of the North End Club by 11pm.

Also can i please remind you to put away the tables and chairs that you use and return the function room to how it was at the beginning of the evening. This includes returning glasses to the bar and putting crisp packets etc in the bin.

So really i ask us all to look after the club's property and the property of members.

Simples!

Steven, I would just like to say that you have my whole-hearted support on this.

All of our enjoyment is largely dependent upon the kit being both easy to find at the start of the evening and in good condition when it is located. That, of course, requires that we all invest a little time and effort into tidying things away correctly at the end of evening.

The nerw shelving has helped a lot in this regard and all it requires is a little willingness on everybody's part.

Regarding the end time: most of the older members have always understood that we aim to finish by 10:30 for exactly this reason, but I believe some of the new members may not be aware of this. Not really their fault as this is more of an implicit undersanding than an explicit request, but is does no harm to mention here.

So people, please look after the club equipment -- it really is on all our interests to do so

Mike

I have mentioned about the carefull storage of my 40K terrain before...it is indeed purchased painted and offered for use at the club by myself. If this arrangement is abused, I don't fancy forking out another £50 for a 40K sector box, therefore I will take it home. Last time of saying!
